My mission as a technology teacher is to promote a positive attitude in children towards technology by giving them the opportunity to explore, and apply it.    I will stimulate my students to be excited about coming to school and exploring the topics discussed in the classroom when they are outside of the classroom.  I will provide opportunities that allow a child to explore who they are and what passions they will have for life.   I will   create a partnership with my students to empower them to take responsibility for their own learning. Students in my classes will feel free to experiment and take risks in an atmosphere that encourages success.  They will develop the skills necessary to become computer literate as they take their place in the work forces of the 21^st
